CLASS POEM I know you ' ll want to hear about the graduates ol this year, So I ' ll tell of each of my classmates, that are so very dear. One by one you ' ll read all about the class of ' 47 Which, I ' m sure you ' ll agree, was a gift sent from heaven. First is Ella Fae, who everyone knows She is happy wherever she goes. So cute and tiny, so seldom blue. I know you will miss her as we will, too. Curt is a bey everyone adores, In every sport he really scores. It looks easy to see him run the mile. But best of all is his very cute smile. Next comes our blonde who is not lazy, And bookkeeping just about drove her crazy. This may not be who you think, But she is the girl, I call Katrink. Margaret is our little lass, Who, I believe, is the brains of the class. President of Booster ' s Club, always busy as a bee. That she ' s well liked, I ' m sure we agree. Our classmate Lynn is quite small, -And I must admit, orneryist of us all. Even tho ' he makes the teachers ' heads swim, I know we couldn ' t get along without him. Kenny, our left-handed basketball star, Has a physique that beats Charles Atlas by far. His clothes are nice, his smile so bright, If you ' ve seen him, I know you ' ll agree I ' m right. Not one of the girls. I ' m sure is guilty, Of coming to class all droopy-eyed and wilty. Hank is one of whom I ' m sure, A good nights sleep is an only cure. One way to tell Wilma ' s within a mile, Is by her giggle heard up and down each aisle, But there ' s nothing like being happy once in a while And she ' s one seldom seen without a smile. In our beloved Chemistry class. Sits this sweet Senior lass. For burning her fingers won fame, She is my sister, Mary by name. Lois is the tallest of our blondes, Of whom everyone, including the boys, is fond. She can really make her little Ford work, ' Cause when she ' s behind the wheel, it does perk??? A boy like Don S. is hard to find, He makes good use of his mind. We should all have looked his way, And used him as an example every day. Doris M. another Senior fair, Has natural curly brown hair. Altho ' her bookkeeping she doesn ' t like to do. She never lets it make her blue. Doris K. has a cute laugh and cheerful ways. And was oh! so good, in both class plays. Star of the girl ' s basketball team, She always has plenty of pep and steam. Our boy from Uncle Sam is quite fair, He has pretty wavy blonde hair. His friendliness would be awfully hard to beat; Without Louie the clas couldn ' t have been complete. Our Gwenie has a very cute face, And if you ' ve noticed every hair is in place. I ' m sure you ' ll agree she is quite nice. Wherever she goes people are sure to look twice. This is the ve _ se, the hardest one — ' Cause writing about myself is no fun. What I ' ll do in the future will be a surprise to me. But I ' ll never be a poet, as you can plainly see. Edna, who is next, has very long hair, She came two years ago from Mt. Ayr. When doing something, she does it with her heart, And you can be sure she ' ll always do her part. Our last girl, we call Maureen, Without Edna she is never seen. She has curly dark hair, and pretty blue eyes, Which many of us do so idolize. Don C., our president, helped us all year thru, He was a very good basketball player, too. Altho’ he isnt ' very big in size, He ' s handsome and has beautiful blue eyes. This year we received a member from Chicago, His name is Ed, as everyone knows. We were happy to have him thru our Senior days, And loved his peaceful, happy ways. John B., without much trouble, could be a quiz kid — For he really has some brains in his lid. He isn ' t exactly the studious kind; For John hes brighter things than books on his mind. When there is something funny to be said, You can be sure Lee will hit it on the head. Altho’ the teachers didn ' t laugh at the things he would do, I really believe they tho ' t he was funny, too. To be a draftsman is Richard ' s ambition. I know he won ' t quit until he ' s completed his mission. And as to him and each ether we say adieu, We wish him luck in whatever he might do. One of our boys, who is quite tail, Did the most heroic deed of all. His two foul shots won a game, Herbie is this good kid ' s name. Our sponsor, Mr. Stivers, helped us in everyway. To him we ' ll be grateful ' til our dying day. He was with us in everything we did, anywhere we would go. What has kept him from getting gray, we’ll never know. Our high school days are now through; The tho ' t makes us very blue. To good old D.H.S. we say our last goodbye, And step into a new world with a tearful sigh.

June 1, 1957 Dear Diary, While shopping in Marshall Field ' s Store today, I accidently got lost and found myself wandering through the in- fant ' s department. There, to my surprise, stood Mr. and Mrs. Ed Zacek [the former Lois Hoffman], two of my old classmates of 1947. While talking things over, Ed told me that he has sole proprietorship of the new Skyrocket Elevated Train Sys- tem in the Chicago City Limits. In the middle of all the excitement on Parnell Avenue, I saw the big red fire engine pull to a halt in front of a flaming home. I, trying to find out all I could about the fire, found the fire chief to be Richard Kelly. I looked across the way and who do you think was standing there on the porch of a modern home????? It was Mr. and Mrs. Lee Schwanke [the former Mar- garet Schoonveld], Lee is working on the new subway. That was enough surprises for one day, and believe me, I enjoyed all of them. June 3, 1957 Dear Diary, The boss gave me a new assignment which is taking me to New York. While peacefully reading my maga- zine on the train, the familiar words of Tickets, tickets, have your tickets ready! came expectedly from the conductor. I looked up into his face as I gave him my ticket, and to my astonishment, he was none other than Don Chappell. When looking for the dining car, I had to pass through the private car of the famous Madame Gwendolyn Belstra ' s Or- chestra. The Madame informed me that she features Doris Mak as her first violin- ist. She also told me that they were start- ing an engagement in Madison Square Garden the first of next month. New York, N. Y. June 4, 1957 Dear Diary, After the performance of the Ice Follies, I went backstage to interview the stars, Connie and Bonnie Vandersnoozen. To my surprise I found them to be Mary and Margaret Curtin of DeMotte. They are now on a nation wide tour. I went to the Extraordinary Entertain- ment Club for a little excitement. In the doorway, I met my old classmate, Edna Cox, who is the owner of the club. She asked what I was doing there, and na- turally, I told her I was a newspaper re- porter there on business. Going inside to see the performance, I saw that her great soloist was Maurine Crain, another former classmate. Honolulu June 10, 1957 Dear Diary, My special present from my boss was another exciting assignment, so here I am in the Hawaiian Islands. My duty this time is to see how con- ditions here compare with those in the United States. Observing the street signs, written in Polynesian, I came across one which was translated into English. It stated that the famous basketball team, The Victorians, were to challenge a team of Polynesians in the evening. I noticed my favorite basketball team had changed a great deal since I saw them in Chicago. The outstanding play- ers of the evening were Kenneth DeVries, the famous over-head shooter, Curtis Heim- lich, the rabbit runner, and Herbert Ruis- ard, who made great use of his height. After the game I congratulated them on the splendid teamwork they had shown. They were greatly surprised to see me. Aboard the S. S. Paradise Sunset June 20, 1957 Dear Diary, Wandering around trying to find my cabin, I recognized the steward as John Walstra. I asked him for information as to where I could find cabin No. 13. He told me where it was located and also mentioned that Henry DeKock is captain of this ship. Even though I didn ' t get to see Henry, it is nice knowing what he is doing. San Francisco, Calif. June 21, 1957 Dear Diary, I finally found myself a nice cozy apart- ment, which was hard to £ ; nd. It even has a radio, something I haven ' t heard or seen for a while. While listening to the music of Madame Gwendolyn Eelstra ' s Orchestra, a special bulletin was given by John Black, a foreign correspondent, stating that Don Streveler had just invented a helicopter that would fly to the moon within 24 hours. My, aren ' t my classmates making something of them- selves? June 22, 1957 Dear Diary, I went downstairs for breakfast and called the waitress over to take my order. Who should it be but Doris Kaluf. I guess she is still living up to what she was in the Senior play a few years back. After breakfast I looked outside and it was raining as it often does in sunny California. My hair always gets as straight as a pin when it rains, so I de- cided to go to the beauty parlor and have it fixed as I am planning on going home in a few days. In the shop the beauty operator asked me where I was from, and I told her Chi- cago. She seemed as if she knew me, and afier a short conversation. I soon realized that she and her partner were both friends of mine, Ella Fae Barker and Wilma Walstra. Chicago, 111. June 27, 1957 Deer Diary, I got off the train and decided I would take a taxi home, so I called one over and !o and behold the driver was Lynn Bricker. I realized that in the past month, I have seen all my old classmates and it has been nice seeing them and I hope I have the chance to see them all again, soon. FOUR SHORT YEARS After traveling a long road and at last reaching a destination, the trials and hardships of the journey seem to fade and only the bright and joyous events become fixed in one ' s mind. So it has been with the class of ' 47. The journey has ended and at last we have attained the goal. The four years in DeMotte High have been more like four weeks and the dark spots have be- come iridescent hues because the things that stand out most in our minds are the tasks which we have accomplished, of these we are proud. Back in our freshman year we had 26 members and from these we chose Mary Curtin to be president, Kenneth DeVries, vice-president, Margaret Cur- tin, secretary, Margaret Schoonveld, treasurer, and Mrs. Erny, sponsor. We were duly initiated by the Seniors and the following spring we entertained them at a weiner roast. Ruby Selby joined our class the second semester. We started our sophomore year with 22 members. We chose Kenneth De- Vries for president, Don Chappell, vice- president, Margaret Curtin, secretary, Margaret Schoonveld, treasurer, and Miss Gundy, sponsor. We had a sleigh- ing party in December. We were fortunate to begin our junior year with 22 members. Kenneth De- Vries was elected president, Don Chap- pell, vice-president, Margaret Schoon- veld, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Haas, sponsor. On Sept. 25 we ordered our class rings and they arrived Dec. 18. Don Streveler and Edna Cox were new members of our class. Don re- turned to school after a years absence to complete his education. We chose as our first class play Everything Happens to Us, ' ' and pre- sented it April 9. One week later, April 16, we entertained the Seniors with a semi -formal banquet in The Little Dutch Garden of DeMotte. Then came our Senior year. John Walstra and Ed Zacek joined our class making a total of 24 members. Don Chappell was chosen president, Curt Hiemlich, vice-president, Margaret Schoonveld, secretary, Margaret Cur- tin, treasurer, and Mr. Stivers, sponsor. Our graduation pictures were taken the last part of September. We also or- dered our commencement announce- ments and personal name cards. On Dec. 6 we presented Never Say Die, our Senior class play. Our greatest misfortune during this Senior year was an attack of infantile paralysis which struck Ella Fae Barker. In the first part of January we or- dered our class sweaters. On Satur- day, January 18, the class embarked to the Chicago Stadium to see the Sonja Henie Ice Revue. Every Senior has looked forward to May 2, naturally, with sadness, but also with joy. Thinking back over the four years at DeMotte High, the class mem- bers are happy knowing that they have- done their best and contributed the most they could to both the academic and athletic standing of DeMotte High. And so it is that at the end of their high school days the Seniors wish to those who come after them the best of luck and hope that their days will be as enjoyable and full as those of the class of ' 47 were.

The annual staff is composed of all the Seniors. They all participated in making the annual a success, as each member had a certain part assigned to him, and it was up to him to do it. Margaret Schoonveld is the editor-in-chief, Margaret Curtin, assistant editor, and Don Chappell, business manager. Some of the more important things that were written are the prophecy written by Doris Kaluf and Kate Anderson, the poem written by Margaret Curtin, the will written by Gwen Belstra and Doris Mak, and the history written by Margaret Schoonveld and Maurine Crain. Kenneth DeVries wrote all of the articles on athletics. NEWSPAPER STAFF The newspaper staff was organized again this fall. An issue of the paper has been pub- lished every month. We exchanged school papers with many different schools in different stales. It was very interesting to get papers from different states. The staff was changed at the end of the first semester, with the exception of a few. At this time the Senior English Class took over. Very good papers have been turned cut and we ' re glad that so many people we _ e salisfied with them. The library staff is being headed by Mrs. Gidiey. Each period of the day one of the girls cn the library staff has the responsibility of caring for the books. All bcoks purchased are chosen from ap. proved book lists. Several notable donations of books have been made. Slowly, but surely, we are stacking our library with the better books, and are encouraging students to develop a taste for them. ■ T 9. j lip m mm 8 ■l • j l f - i f v S m m fig 1 The sludenis on this pic- ture are those who were on the staff the first semes- ter and those who are on the staff now.

MIDDLE ROW: Band in regular line formation. TO r FICTURE: Band in D formation. INSERT: Mr. Stivers. This year marked a new era in the history of the D.H.S. Band. For the first time since the band was organized at DeMotte, we had a marching band. The band marched at all the home foot- ball games, and journeyed to Kentland to play at a football game. At each game the band aroused new interest through its formation of letters, figures, and a pin-wheel. There were twelve majorettes and a drum major and his assistant who marched with the band. BAND A concert was played during the Christmas vacation, and at the end of the first semester everyone was showing signs of great improvement. It was at this time that Mr. Stivers left us to take up another job. Next year D.H.S. should have an outstanding band, and with a good director.it is sure to make an excellent showing. W. Walstra, A.

Under the di- rection of Mr. Stivers they sang at a P.-T.A. , meeting and at a special Christmas Concert with the Boy ' s Chorus and the band. BOOSTER ' S CLUB The Booster ' s Club consisted of fifteen members this year. The Club did a nice bit of work serving candy, pop, and sometimes sandwiches at home football and basketball games. Our leader, Miss Beanblossom, helped us a great deal to accomplish what we have done. All Junior and Senior girls and the Yell leaders are eligible to join the Booster ' s Club. ROW 1: E. Cox, M.

NEVER SAY DIE The Senior Class chose the play Never Say Die, a mystery comedy in three acts written by Charles George. The class chose Friday, December 6, as the date for presentation. The cast was selected from well varied characters whose actions and ability best fitted the different parts. The cast was as follows: Mrs. Hamilton Montgomery. Estelle Montgomery Kitty Kirk Oliver Winston Fletcher Belmont: Christine Kendall Hilda Huntley Polly Baby Bunting Lesley Bloodgood Eva Davenport Nannie Bill McManus John Patterson ....Wilma Walstra Lois Hoffman Maurine Crain Kenneth DeVries Henry DeKock Mary Curtin Margaret Curtin Margaret Schoonveld John Black Doris Mak Doris Kaluf Leland Schwanke Richard Kelly JUNIOR PLAY ROW 1: K.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS TO US It seems as if the title of this play has been the theme of the Class of ' 47 ' because ever since we gave this play everything has been happening to us. Due to the sudden illness of John Black, the play had to be postponed from March 29 until April 9, although the matinee was given March 28. The cast of the play was as follows: John Arthur Ross [J.A.] John Black Kitty Ross Doris Kaluf Rhett Curtis Heimlich Ronald Herbert Ruisard Jay [Junior] Lynn Bricker Gloria Thatcher Margaret Curtin Martha Fay Margaret Schoonveld Charley Duncan Don Chappell Josephine Cartwright Maurine Crain Ike Hicks Leland Schwanke Iva Sorrell Kathyrn Anderson Esther Todd Mary Curtin CARNIVAL The popularity contest was one of the main features at this year ' s carnival. This contest was among the boys and girls of the high school. Each class chose a boy and a girl candidate. The Seniors chose Lois Hoffman and Kenneth DeVries, the Juniors, Irene Muraida and Bob Cheever, the Sophomores, Marilyn Sauer and Lawrence Terborg, and the Freshmen, Audrey Criswell and Kenneth [Red] Heimlich. Marilyn and Red were the lucky winners and each received a prize the night of the carnival. Each class had a project of its own from which it made a profit to go into the class treasury. ATHLETICS FOOTBALL In view of the fact that there were quite a number of under- classmen on the team and a large number of good teams in the conference, we did quite well this year. We managed to beat cur closest rivals, which are, of course, Wheatfield and Fair Oaks. We showed everyone we played that we could move the pigskin, both on the ground and through the air. With almost all the boys coming back next year, DeMotte should have a good chance to win the conference. Opponent We They Wheatfield 14 6 Ml.

This year ' s team was composed mostly of freshmen who ought ; : - to make a good team next year. Sorpe of the players were L. Terborg, D. Magers, K. Heimlich, M. Hoffman, B. Nanneninga, and J. Kingma. The latter four boys will be back 1 next year to play on the Freshman-Sophomore team. We wish you the best of luck, boys. The yell leaders are Lief t to right]: Margaret Curtin, Beatrice Stre- • , i sne Murcide, Mary Cur tin. YELL LEADERS The yell leaders for ' 46 and ' 47 were chosen by the student tody. Many new yells were learned and were really taken to heart by the fans. Four yell leaders were elected instead of the usual three as has been done in the preceding years. Since this picture was taken the yell leaders have made themselves new outfits. They are very pretty with red blouses and white jumpers and looked extremely pretty on the slim and trim leaders.

The Indians out- scored Lowell every quarter but the third. How- ever, the game was lost by a small margin. The second game was lost to Morrocco, but the team played better ball than they did the first game. Our losing streak was broken when we de- feated Wheatfield quite eqsily in our third game. We lost our next game to Kentland making 3 losses and only 1 win to our credit. The fans and the team were beginning to wonder whether we were going to do any better than last year when we won only 3 games. How- ever, we felt much better when we won over Tefft in a double overtime thriller. Our fourth defeat of the year was given us by Mt. Ayr in a rather dull game. After being beaten quite badly in our pre- vious game, we came back to win easily over San Pierre in our highest scoring game in the season. Our eighth game of the season was played with LaCrosse in their small, low ceilinged gym. After being held scoreless for the entire first quarter, we gave them an even game the next three quarters. We chalked up our fourth win of the season against Fair Oaks. Our Indians led by a com- fortable 13 point margin at the half, but this lead was nearly tied by a hard fighting Fair Oak quintet in the last half. This was our last game before the holiday season. During the week right after New Year ' s, we played Hobart in the Crown Point Tourney. Al- though we lost the first game, it didn ' t seem too bad, because Hobart went on to win the tourney. Our next game was also in a tournament, the K.V.T. We were beaten by Tefft in a very close game. After losing the first game in both tourna- ments, we came to beat Fair Oaks in one of the highest scoring and probably the most thrill- ing game of the year. We made it two wins in a row by beating Wheatfield quite easily on our home floor in the next game. The very next night we journeyed to St. Joseph ' s to take our worst defeat of the year. North Judson was the victim of our seventh win when we beat them on their own floor. The Knox Redskins fell before our high scor- ing Indians after they had been in the lead for most of the game. Hebron journeyed to DeMotte with high spirits only to be beaten by our Indians in an overtime game. Finding it hard to break our jinx with Tefft we were beaten by them by a one point margin in an exciting game. The team and coach with spirits built up, high, went into the Sectional Tourney with a good chance to win over a highly favored Mo- rocco five, but were unable to pull through with a win. SEATED: R.

The grade team has played several games this year with neighboring schools, but have only been fortunate enough to win two games, the first team winning one and the second team win- ning the other. They have also purchased new suits this year. Mr. Williams is their coach. TRACK ROW 1: L. Terbo.g, A. Lageveen, K. Terpstra, B. Cheever, J. Purvis, I. Rowen, H. Ruisard. ROW 2: D. Mageis, J.

After doing very poorly in basketball and football, our track team did quite well with some of the boys setting seme pretty good records. The first meet was with Crown Point at Crown Point. It was an interesting meet with Crown Point winning most of the running events and DeMotte winning most of the field events. As the scores of the meets are not available they cannot be written, but Crown Point won this meet. Our second track meet was with Fair Oaks and we won this meet easily by a large margin. In getting ready for the county meet a rather large meet was held with Tefft, Wheatfield, Remington and, of course, DeMotte participating. DeMotte polled almost as many points in this meet as the other three schools together to win easily. At the County Track and Field Meet, which was held at Rensselaer at night, the DeMotte boys rated a very good second. Some of them set some good records and several of them placed first for which they received blue rib- bons. Many of the others received red, white and green ribbons. The K.V.T. and F.M. was our last meet. DeMotte received third place at this meet while North Judson got first and Knox got second. Seven schools took part in this meet. j , Bierma Brothers Hardware and Wayne Feed Phone 50 Wheatfield, Indiana Compliments of Ruth s Bakery Phone 46 DeMotte, Indiana Gulbrunsen Compliments Compliments Grocery Meat Mkt. of of Home Killed Meat JACK SMITH 9d m.
